Title: Foldable stereoscope
Inventor: COACHE OLIVIER
IPC: G02B27/22
Filed: 1994-05-26
Abstract: Foldable stereoscope for observing by transparency images having a 3-D effect. The stereoscope primarily consists of a single part made of cardboard or other similarly transformable material which is folded and bonded or assembled, and, in a storage position, is like a box fluttened on two of its four sides. In use, the two small opposing sides (2) are erected, thereby giving volume to the box, and the two flaps (3 and 4) are folded in, until the lugs at the top of each of the flaps enter the slot (8) in the top (9). Flap (3) supports the optic system (5), and flap (4) includes windows (13) and possibly the diffuser and the fixed or interchangeable stereoscopic views (6). The visual impact of the stereoscopic image, the use of the printable surfaces and its low cost make the present invention especially suitable for advertizing and promotional applications.

Abstract: A control arrangement for an electric assist steering system having a variable reluctance motor (26) includes sensing (54) motor position and sensing (110) applied steering torque. A controller determines a desired motor torque assist value in response to the applied steering torque. A plurality of look-up tables are provided having a plurality of motor current values versus motor position values stored therein. The stored motor current values are functionally related to motor position values. The controller selects a first (T1) and second (T2) torque look-up table from the plurality of look-up tables. The first look-up table corresponds to a torque value less than the desired motor torque assist value. The second look-up table corresponds to a torque value greater than the desired motor torque assist value. A first motor current value (I1) is determined by interpolating between two current values corresponding to two motor positions stored in the first look-up table closest to the sensed motor position. A second motor current value (I2) is determined by interpolating between two current values corresponding to two motor positions stored in the second look-up table closest to the sensed motor position. A final motor current value (ICMD) is determined by interpolating between the first and second determined motor current values. A motor control signal is provided in response to the determined final motor current value.

Abstract: A ram air turbine is provided for use in driving electric and/or hydraulic power systems in an aircraft, wherein the ram air turbine includes primary and secondary speed control governors. The primary governor includes centrifugal flyweights for cam-actuated adjustment of the pitch angle of a turbine blade or blades, within a selected adjustment range, to achieve substantially constant turbine speed in response to varying air speed and/or load. The secondary governor preloads the turbine blade or blades to a selected midrange pitch angle in the at-rest condition, wherein the midrange pitch angle is chosen for faster turbine acceleration on deployment to the desired full-speed rotation. The secondary governor controls blade pitch angle until the turbine reaches a selected rotational speed, after which the primary governor regulates and adjusts blade pitch angle within the selected adjustment range.

Abstract: An optical switch (10) for switching light from one leg (34A) of an optical circuit to another leg (34B) is characterized by an arrangement (56) for altering the index of refraction of one of the legs with respect to the other leg. This results in a disparity in light velocity and a change in phase relationship for the light being propagated through the legs (34A, 34B). When the legs (34A, 34B) are brought into a coupling region (24), there occurs a predetermined transfer of light from one leg to the other, depending upon the magnitude of the alteration in phase relationship between the light propagated in the legs.

Abstract: A variable cam phaser (16) has drive (18) and driven (30,32) members connected by helical splines (90,92,116,118) of an annular phase control piston (82) and a lash control piston (84), axial motion of which varies the angular phase relation between the drive (18) and driven (30,32) members. A single wave spring (122) received in a groove (120) in one (82) of the pistons biases them apart to take up lash in the splines. A return spring (94) biases the phase control piston (82) to an initial phase setting. Pre-timing of the members is provided for by a driven (or drive) member (30,32) comprising two components, a hub flange (30) that supports the other member (18) and a splined hub (32) carried by and initially rotatable on a tubular protrusion (50) of the hub flange (30). After assembly of the phasing mechanism, the hub (32) is rotated on the hub flange (30) to pre-time the initial phasing of the members. An end (60) of the tubular protrusion is then deformed into a flange (60) engaging an annular shoulder (58) on the hub (32) to lock the hub (32) and hub flange (30) members together and maintain the pre-timing. An annular cover (66) is then installed and retained by a retaining ring (124) to close a hydraulic pressure chamber (86) and help support the members. Upon assembly to a camshaft (12), a center bolt (76) clamps the cover (66), hub (32) and hub flange (30) to the camshaft (12) and relieves the locking means (60) from operational torque loads.

Abstract: Spectral properties of dye images produced from low silver halide coverage materials are improved by using dyes which are formed in the magenta, yellow and cyan image dye-forming units. These dyes have certain spectral characteristics, as determined by their unwanted absorptions, in combination with certain silver halide emulsion grain characteristics in each emulsion layer. In particular reduction of unwanted absorptions can be achieved either with couplers  per   se  which meet these characterisics or by the use of certain high-boiling solvents in the coupler dispersions at preferred levels.

Abstract: A method of processing oxide materials by means of a laser beam with a photon energy being less than the band gap of the material. Initially, it might be expected that no absorption would take place. However, experience has shown that the different energy levels in the band gap may be utilized. These energy levels are apparently caused by several types of structural defects and imperfections, each resulting in different energy levels in the band gap and some thereof enable an absorption of photons, the energy of which being less than the band gap energy. This causes the crystal to be heated, which successively may lead to the band gap being less than the photon energy. Subsequent hereto, the photons are absorbed without any difficulties, and an ablation or an etching process may then be initiated in a controllable manner.
